Playing catch up

I know it has been so long since I updated last, there is a lot to tell. It seems like we never have time to rest, we are so busy these days. Last Thursday Nana, my mother, got here to spend some precious time with Tyler. She has been enjoying her alone time with him, and even though she doesn't have to she always disappears up in her room at night and gives Chad and I alone family time. On Friday night Tyler and I went to see Daddy play basketball, even though he ate during most of the game we know he was cheering on the inside. On Saturday morning Tyler and Daddy had the morning to themselves while mom and I went to the shower that the girls gave for me. They worked so hard and put together such a beautiful display of food, from quiches, to muffins and fruit, and of course the awesome pacifiers made from white life savers and blue jelly beans. Everything was beautiful, Tyler was represented well with the black and white pictures that Lindsay took. After the shower we all decided to go to the mall as a family. Other than the one store for Tyler, Daddy didn't shop much, just walked very briskly around the mall with the stroller (Tyler likes to go fast). Saturday night Nana wanted to take Tyler all shifts so that Mommy and Daddy could sleep. We decided that our other babies (Bigler and Bailey) needed some attention so we allowed them to sleep with us. Well Bailey, overwhelmed by the exciting news, jumped a littled too quickly and hit his incredibly hard head on my eye. Chad, being very compassionate for my pain, tried to help me while telling me that if I could cry a little more quiet that would be helpful since Tyler just went to sleep. I now have a very attractive and very black eye. Monday night was softball game night, still a little chilly outside we buddled up really warm and headed out to support Daddy. We again cheered through eating, Daddy was just excited that his little man made it out. Tuesday was extra special for Mommy, it was my birthday. Nana took Tyler and I out for breakfast and then on top of the orignal birthday present my parents got me, Mom took me to Bath and Body works to get some bath salt. Nana took Tyler that afternoon and I went upstairs for a very long bath. Chad cooked an amazing dinner (Tyler helped, I have pictures of Chad with Tyler in the baby bjorn cutting tomatoes) and invited some friends over to help celebrate. I got a very sweet card from Chad and a very special card from Tyler. It was an amazing birthday, although my most precious birthday present came early this year:) My mother leaves tomorrow, I know she is not looking forward to leaving, and my sister and brother-in-law get here Friday. This will be Angel's first trip up, not by choice she just wanted to wait until she had some time off to spend more days up here with her nephew. She has been going crazy waiting, marking the days off her calendar. I will update again after this weekend. Thanks to all who have patiently waited.
